I have an external device which mounts as an external drive and which I must format in FAT, not FAT32, for use elsewhere. Is there a way to do that from Snow Leopard?

How to use Mac Mini as an APNS server for Push Notifications
I have looked for it everywhere, I can't find any clue where to start or how to do it.
I have an Apple Mac Mini with OSX Server that I would like to use as an APNS server to send push notifications for my iPhone application. I'm currently using my Macbook for the sandbox gateway through terminal running a php script.
What I did/have:
- Generated development/production certificates.
- pem/p12 files.
- PHP Script for sending.
If it can't be done on a Mac Mini Server. How would I pull it off from shared hosting or dedicated server? Thanks!
How do I convert from Case-Insensitive to case-sensitive in 10.8
I just got a new (well refurbished) MacBook Pro running 10.8.3. I am a programmer, so I have need of a case-sensitive filesystem. It is fresh and I am reluctant to upgrade it or do much with it until I can change the partition to be case-sensitive.
To be sure, I ran "diskutil info disk0s2" on it. Under filesystem personality it says "Journaled HFS+". Which I understand to be the case-insensitive format.
I have done a little research and supposedly iPartition can do it, but I am reluctant to buy it because I think it can be done without spending money. Even if it is a more complicated method. And because I just got it, so I am not afraid to reinstall Mac OS X if need be. I would just need a way to do it without a disk.
So, what is the quickest and easiest way to make the partition case-sensitive?
Help with new iPad...random persons info on it
Got a new iPad. Set up Apple ID using my gmail. All the sudden a random persons contacts are on my iPad and when I login to my Apple ID this persons address, info etc is there. Also this person credit card info comes up when I try to buy apps. I'm confused as to why bc I used my personal gmail to set up my apple id. I don't want some random persons info connected to my iPad. What is going on?
Can't login with iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Constant server error
I have problem of connecting to iCloud with iCloud Control panel for Windows. After a while it errors with can't connect because of server error. And gives me a link to iCloud status which is always all green.
This problem is not last hour problem, it is constantly the same from the time I installed iCloud CP version 4 when it was released. I didn't have previous version of CP installed on this machine. I did't tweaked services above usual turn off of XPS server and Tablet PC components in Programs (Unistall part of Windows Control Panel)
I have Windows Firewall enabled (though disabling it doesn't make a change). Antivirus is MSSE. I am behind old Linksys router though it has uPNP enabled on it (and disabling SPI firewall on it doesn't change anything either). It is in Gateway mode. Itunes login into account fine and I can log into iCloud.com with a browser.
Windows is Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit on Athlon XP (not SSE2 capable, had to mention because some apps just forget there are such processors still in use) Version of iCloud CP is the last 4.0.2 (at the moment of writing).
If anybody does know what I can do to trouble shoot it I would be happy to hear. And yes I've already removed and installed iCloud CP few times. Thanks.
How do I launch Bonjour?
I'm a complete Apple newbie - just bought my first mbp two days ago.
I'm trying to connect to my WD my book live NAS (working fine under my existing Linux set-up). The set-up instructions from WD tell me to launch Bonjour from Safari - but I can't find any reference to Bonjour in Safari - or any where else, for that matter!
Changing the open with settings in 10.10.1
I am looking for a way to edit the open with settings in 10.10.1, i have looked through older questions and have attempted to rename the launch services plist and have gotten no where.
I have looked through the
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister
and my
/Users/J/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices/com.apple.launchservices.secure.plist
and I was able to remove text edit from random extensions but i am still unable to remove numbers or find its assoisation to .py files in a
/lsregister -dump
Here is a picture to clarify, i would like to remove numbers.app and pages.app along with xcode.app as options to open up files with a .py extension.
Sidenote: Another related feature is i would like to add an application in that menu for every single file type in my system. For example i would like to be able to open every file in my system with hexfiend and textedit.
right clicking/adding every time i have a new file type is a pain because my applications folder is filled with a few apps that are folders that get searched recursively when i look through it
Update: solution directly from apple -- Uninstall numbers. Other then uninstalling the application, it is not possible to remove applications from this list published by apple... any other publisher and it is possible lol.......
This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. iTunes 12.0.1.26 in Yosemite
Rented a movie from iTunes. Tried to play it. Got error: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
Movie is 720p HD mp4.
Have tried to open the movie in QuickTime but won't open. I suspect that's a DRM issue but QuickTime isn't saying.
I'm not sure if it's related or not but once the download completed I got an iTunes error (We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (3001)).
Has anyone else seen this lately? Anyone have any ideas?

Copy selection to clipboard automatically
I am looking for a program that can copy any selected text to the clipboard automatically. E.g. if I select some text in Safari or Eclipse, it should automatically copy it to the keyboard.
The Google Chrome extension Auto Copy 3.0.3 can do it in Google Chrome.
The application PopClip displays a popover menu which appears when some text is selected in any application but there doesn't seem to be any way to automatically copy it to the keyboard.
barcode scanner for OSX
I am interested in buying a barcode scanner (for a one off to read ISBN numbers on books). I have looked at some at the cheaper models on eBay, but they don't give much information.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with these. I want to use with my MacBook. Are any special drivers usually required?
Iphone4s without sim
I am being given an iPhone 4s. I have one that keeps dropping into headphone mode and I lose sounds, I was wondering if I could swap the sim to the "new" phone to use for communicating and keep the old one for my music without the sim. And would I need a sim in it to download new music later?

Show system process battery usage information on iOS 8?
With iOS 8, It was made possible to get relevant battery usage for applications on iOS. Is there any way to find the battery usage of the system processes on iOS 8? I'm looking for Jailbreak tweaks or Diagnostic tools because there aren't any other options.
SSD Issue - TRIM related?
I'd had an SSD that I'd put in my early 2011 13" MBP, in conjunction with the OEM HDD, to make a DIY Fusion Drive. A few weeks ago, I enabled TRIM (using TRIM Enabler). 5 days later, the SSD totally died. Now, I know correlation doesn't imply causation, but could enabling TRIM be what broke the SSD so much so that even a total reformat (which I've attempted to no avail) couldn't fix it? And if so, how do I un-TRIM it?

How to use the programming calculator in OS X?
I'm trying to make the best out of the programming calculator in OS X, but I don't know these functions
- byte flip
- word flip
- X<
- X>>Y
- RoL/RoR (are these just sll/srl?)
Also is it possible to perform a two's complement on a narrower range i.e. 16 bits instead of 64 bits?
Display playlist by album instead of by song on iPhone
I have an iPhone 5S. I want to see my playlist by albums instead of by songs. When I add an album of songs to the playlist, it shows all the songs. I can do it on iTunes on the computer but it doesn't seem to allow you to show playlist by album instead of by song.
How often and for how long does Trim Enabler need to run?
As of Yosemite, DIY, or non-Apple installed SSDs have Trim support challenges using applications such as Trim Enabler. Assuming one keeps their TRIM supported SSD in Yosemite,
- what is a good strategy for using Trim Enabler periodically so there are no issues with kext-signing and potential OS update conflicts while TE is enabled?
- Can this be worked around by periodically using Trim Enabler?
- How long should Trim Enabler be run?
- How often?
- If SSD usage, e.g. amount oread/written data is relevant to how long/often Trim Enabler should be run, is there a way to evaluate guidelines on light, moderate, heavy use.
An excellent feature for TE would be a scheduler to run based on need, then toggle TE off after a scheduled maintenance run. At least until/if Apple ever opens kext-signing to software and hardware devs. Cheers -
iPhoto Library Picker
OK I have been upgrading and moving things around between computers for years and in that time I have managed to have a lot of duplicates in the iPhoto Picker:
I have consolidated the libraries down to three but the iPhoto Library Picker (hold OPTION when launching iPhoto) is filled with a bunch of old cruft that I would dearly love to remove. Problem is I can't find where this list is kept.
It does not seem to be in any of the iPhoto preferences in my home or system folder nor in Application Support either.
Any ideas where this data is stored?
Location in Weather Widget is Wrong
The location in the weather widget of the notification center is permanently wrong since September 2014. I was in Ampus for vacation. But today I'm at home and the location is not changing!
If I click on the i in the upper right corner, I can't change it manually.

Combining Thunderbolt ports
I've a Macbook Pro retina 15'', mid-2012 with nVidia 650M graphics card. I've a 4K Dell monitor attached but the result is a bit choppy and my guess is that it's because of the bandwidth limitation on the Thunderbolt port?
If so, can I somehow combine both thunderbolt ports and connect the external to both together?
Thanks
How can I tell what's in my iCloud backup?
I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and a first generation iPad running iOS5, both logged in to my iCloud account. I'll skip some details and jump to the fact that I deleted my latest iCloud backup both from my iPad and my iPhone, as well as my computer running iCloud for Windows. I did it from all 3 just to make sure the backup got deleted (it wasn't initially showing it deleted, so I did it from all 3).
I then turned off iCloud backup on both devices. Finally, I turned it back on on just my iPhone. Then I let it do a backup. For some reason, the backup size is much larger than it looks like it should be. See screenshot attached. The settings shown there are the same settings that were in place when it did the backup this morning.
Why is the backup size so large? It looks like it should only be about 3MB in size, based on what I have checked. Incidentally, 4.6GB is the same size as the backup I said I originally deleted before starting this process. Is there any way to tell what's making the backup so large?
Dockmode apps for ipod touch
I have a ipod touch which is mostly docked and I seldom use it. I want to make a good use of it, for example.
- An app which displays daily news.
- An app that displays tweets.
- An app that could display quotes.
- An app that could display a slideshow of photos.
None of these should require any human interaction and it should be completely passive. Is there any app that comes to your mind that has similar characteristics?
It is sort of like daydream feature of android 4.2+
Safari CMD+Click link new tab focus

xcode 3.2 direct link to a url [on hold]

Typing 'paral' into Spotlight suggests 'Pages' instead of 'Parallels Desktop' - how to fix?
If I type any of these in Spotlight (Yosemite): par para parall parallel etc
Parallels Desktop is suggested as the program to launch - which is what I want.
However - if I type 'paral' - what you would think was a good short bet to load the app - it suggests 'Pages.
I endup typing 'paral' a lot as it used to work.
I found nothing on Google.
This makes no sense. How can I fix this?
I can't disable find a phone on my iphone 5
My iphone got wet and although it is switched off and the sim card is removed, it is still showing as online on icloud so I can't disable the find my phone to enable me to claim on the insurance. If I erase the phone from icloud, (by clicking on the x next to the device) what does that mean to my data on my phone when I replace my phone? Does this action of deleting the device from icloud just mean that I have only disabled the find my phone app?
iMessage not working after changing MAC address
My iMessage is not working after I have changed my MAC address. I have restored my original MAC address, but it is still not working. My phone is an iPhone 4s, 6.1.3 jailbroken.
I changed my DNS, restored with iLex RAT (because I don't want to upgrade to iOS 8), then reset network settings, but it is still not working. How can I resolve this?

Custom built Java Mac app won't run when in /Applications folder
I have a Java-based application that I've developed for a while now. When I create a Mac .app bundle, I do so by copying the following contents into the .app folder:
When I build the .app, I notice the following:
- The application runs when I copy the .app onto my desktop, and double-click it.
- The application runs when I drag the .app directly to my task bar and click it.
- The application does not run when I copy the .app into my /Applications folder. I see a "do not enter" icon drawn over the app's actual icon, and trying to start it yields the error:
"You can't open the application "RText" because it is not supported on this type of Mac."
- The application does run from the /Applications folder if I run it from the command line:
cd /Applications open -a RText.app
I do have the Java for OS X 2014-001 package installed for Java 6 support. I believe my Info.plist requires Java 6.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to debug this problem. Any pointers would be appreciated.

How to make a bootable disc in Yosemite?

Full screen app in a small window (Picture in picture)
I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.10.1. Is there a way to get a full screen app into a window?
Example:
I have netflix running in a web browser full screen on one desktop. I'd like to take that full screen window and do a "picture in picture" and show it in the corner of the current desktop I'm working on. Is there an app out there that does this, or can it be done natively?
Alternatively, I realize that I can resize the window myself but I still have to deal with unused real estate (e.g. borders), and battling with making sure its always in focus.
using iMac (2014) as Display for pc source
I have got iMac (2014 model), which I want to use as external display for my windows laptop. Is is possible? if yes, how?

postfix sasl login with several domains
I've set up a mail server with yosemite's server app which hosts my two domains, say myfirstdomain.com and myseconddomain.com where myfirstdomain.com is the canonical domain name of my server.
Assumed i have a user "peter" i can now login to IMAP with peter@myfirstdomain.com and peter@myseconddomain.com but only if i use "plain" as authentication method. It doesn't work if i use for example "MD5 Challenge Response" where i can only login with peter@myfirstdomain.com. And SMTP login doesn't accept peter@myseconddomain.com as user name at all, only peter@myfirstdomain.com.
Can somebody explain me this behaviour? And how can i achieve that i can login with both domains? (Sorry for the bad english)
Menu Bar - AFTER Yosemite
Is anyone else having this issue?
If I plug something into one of the USB ports on my Mac 17" (After upgrading to Yosemite) my Menu Bar at the top of the desktop keeps disappearing and reappearing. The icons keep flashing on and off. This only happens when I plug something into a USB port.
It's very annoying and frustrating as my Mac now fails to fully recognise my iPhone and I am unable to sync it to my iTunes and my graphics tablet is acting weird too.
Yosemite has not been a success with me yet, it just seems to be one thing going wrong after another!
Anyone with any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

How do I create an Automator Application to forward new mail from Mac Mail?
I have an old e-mail address linked to my Mac Mail account. I have made a rule that forwards new mail from a specified address - call it johndoe@test.com - between my old e-mail and my current e-mail. Right now, I need to manually open the Mail application for the rule to apply to new mail.
I'd like to do this automatically, without needing to manually open and close Mac Mail. To avoid opening it manually, I created an Automator program that performs the following actions on a daily basis:
While this Automator Application opens and quits Mac Mail, it doesn't seem to work, as my current address doesn't receive any forwarded e-mails. Is there another way to automatically forward e-mails from johndoe@test.com from my old e-mail address (linked to Mac Mail) to my new one?
SSD is not recognised with the internal SATA cable (13" 2010 MBP)
It's pretty weird, seeing that HDD's are recognisable, and that SSD works when in an enclosure (Crucial M500).
I've read somewhere that it could be an issue with the cable, but I bought a replacement cable, and it doesn't recognise the SSD either.
One idea that I have might be the issue is that the SSD needs 1.7 A of current, while the HDD I tested it with only 1 A.

Upgrade logic board of Macbook Unibody 4.1
I've recently found a (factory refurbished) logic board from a Macbook Unibody 5.2 (mid-2009; 820-2496-A) and want to replace the logic board of my Macbook Unibody 4.1 (early-2008) with it, so my Macbook can run a newer OS. I've already upgraded my Macbook with a 240GB SSD and 4GB 800MHz RAM.
Comparing pictures of the logic boards it seems like the connectors are the same, as well as everything else, except for the graphics chip (X3100 is my current, while the one on the new logic board is the x64-based GeForce 9400M). So visually it seems like the 5.2 logic board is perfectly compatible with the 4.1 version.
I'll probably receive the logic board just before Christmas (never know exactly this time of year), so I can try swapping the logic boards. Once I've succeeded (or failed) I will report to you guys here.
Has anyone tried doing this before? If it works, does my current OS X installation work with the new logic board or do I need to reinstall OS X?
Pdf reader that restores last viewed page

How can I repair a slightly scratched MacBook Air screen?
I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, whose screen has attracted some unsightly but superficial scratches. They look like smudges, but I suspect a layer of coating (or similar) has come off.
Most likely, the scratches stem from frequent transport with the screen pressed to the keyboard.
Here is a sketch of the scratch areas:
(Based on a photo of said screen. Shapes are correct, but color and intensity are exaggerated for readability.)
I hope the screen has a user-facing plastics film or layer.
Is there a way to replace (parts of) the screen to get rid of the scratches? I feel confident to do repairs myself and have done similar things in the past.
Is it possible to disable Junk Mail in mail.app?
I'm using Mail.app to sync three email accounts on my Mac. I find that usually my Junk Email is usually filled with a lot of emails. It is possible to disable this tab entirely ?
Bandwidth throttleing with onboard tools in Yosemite?
Is there any way with Mac OS' built in firewall to throttle or queue connections from a single application, on a single port or to a certain hostname?
The App in question would be the Quicktime plugin in Safari - ever since the HTML5 beta I've been using that on Youtube instead of flash, for obvious reasons. But while the videos are loading, my internet connection is so saturated, that everything else comes to a halt, sometimes other applications even time out.
Since all questions answered here and tutorials floating around are hopelessly outdated I hope someone can help me with this annoyance without relying on third party tools, since I can't seem to find anything that works with my intended case.

Changing the open with settings in 10.10.1
I am looking for a way to edit the open with settings in 10.10.1, i have looked through older questions and have attempted to rename the launch services plist and have gotten no where.

how to know if apple service staff copied my private data
Tomorrow I will collect my iMac 27 from the service, after they have replaced the screen ( due to yellowish smudges). To my surprise, I was requested to give them my password. I did not expect they may need it, and did not erase my data at home. All my documentd andd photos are there. (No porn luckilly:) How to know if apple service staff copied or looked into my private data? Thanks for replying!
How to get list of all Wi-Fi network available in iPhone 5

Neither Boot Camp Assistant nor Disk Utility can repartition my Fusion drive
After playing around with Boot Camp, trying to install Windows 8.1 on my Retina iMac with Fusion drive (it didn't work), I'm left with a partition scheme that neither Boot Camp Assistant nor Disk Utility can fix.
Boot Camp Assistant gives me the warning:
The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
And here's my partition scheme from Disk Utility:
disk1s5 and disk1s7 have been left over by the Windows installer. Except clicking [-] on either of them doesn't work - after confirming that I indeed want to remove the partition, you can see "Preparing to remove partitions" for a split second, then it just stops. I can't even create a new partition in the free space at the bottom.
Can anyone help? At this point I'm ready to just reinstall OS X and restore from Time Machine, if I knew that that restores the partition scheme. But even the OS X installer usually only formats the Macintosh HD partition.
Can I set the primary Language of OS X by using shell script or AppleScript?
My computer is mac mini (late 2012) with Yosemite 10.10.1 installed. The primary language of the system is English, with Chinese being the second language.
Sometimes I need to use the Maps.app, and as a Chinese person, a map with Chinese characters is more comfortable for me to use rather than English. So when I use the Maps.app, I have to temporally switch the primary language into Chinese, and then switch back to English after using the Maps.
But, it's really inconvenient to do the switchings all by clicking the Settings icon, clicking the Language item, and dragging the language up and down.
Can I do these actions by writing scripts, such as AppleScript or shell script? Thank you very much!
P.S. I've checked the dictionaries of AppleScript and also the OS X manual pages, but found nothing help. It seems that no such 'language setting command' exists.
